Default What section is dead?
Pull the cluster, and you'll see several orange screws (for the lack of a better description). Those orange pieces are the base of the bulbs. Best bet is to carry that into your dealership, they should have it in stock ($5). Good luck

Default Yup, I think that was the one that went out on mine.
I can post a pic of the bulb this evening if need be. Know how to get the cluster out?
